Success Crowns His Efforts.

The United States Senate has passed
Hon. George d. Wises House bill APP
propriating $2j,0 900 for the construction
of a roadway from the terminus of Broad
street, near ChimbOrazo Park, to
the National Cemetery on the out
skirts of Richmond. There was a
clerical error in the bill which will yet
have to be fixed, but that can be done
promptly. Mr.. Wise has been working
for several years to get this appropria-
ton, and is rejoiced that at last he has

A DANGEROUS PLACE.
A Narrow Escape from "A Collision.

~
Several years ago the City Council
passed an ordinance requiring all rail
roads having tracks in the city to place
guards wherever the said tracks crossed
street. The time allowed for the work
was about sixty days; but it was between
two and three years before the require
ments of the law were complied with,
and even now one of the most important
and, probably, more-used than any other
crossing in the city, remains almost en-
tirely unprotected
The Allegheny crossing, at Ninth street,
between Cary and Canal, is very dan
gerous locality.
Thursday afternoon conveyance drly-
en- bv gentleman became entangled with
Others in that narrow locality, and just
as one of the trains was passing, and a
serious accident was narrowly averted.
The roadway between Halls foundry and
the railway track is entirely too narrow
for the great traffic that is compelled to
pass that way. 1t seems but matter OF
time before some sad accident to life or
limb may result from its condition, which
will far outweigh any loss to property or
damages that might ensue.

HE WAS NOT MURDERED.
A Coroner's jury Says That Madison Taylor
Died from heart Disease.

Coroner Taylor, assisted by Mr. Ed.
Baker, Of the Medical College, yesterday
morning made a post norton examination
of the body Of Madison Taylor, who was
found dead in Brophy's alley Thursday
morning. No sign of blow of any
character, except slight wound over the
eye, was discovered The heart was
very badly diseased, and surrounded by
a large quantity of water. This was
liable to cause death at any time.
High Constable +. G. Garrison yester-
day morning summoned the following
Jurors TO sit on the body Of the deceased
and to inquire into the cause of his
death: Harvey Davis foreman and
clerk, T. Z. Mayo, }. L. Whitlock, j. e..
Shine, w. H. Myers, and Charles Hunt.
The jury met at o'clock at the resi-
dence of the deceased No. 1870 North
Twentieth street. They viewed the body
and were sworn.
The first and only witness was Nancy
Taylor, wife Of the dead man. She de-
posed that her husband left home about
twenty minutes TO eight Wednesday
night with the averred intention of going
10 meeting of his X of l.. Assembly,
NEAR ulItJ-HlSl ollCCb' ihlOO VI viz
members of the assembly had since told
her that he was not at the meeting that
night. He took $3.50 for the purpose of
paying his dues He had on bottle-green
vest When the body was found the vest
was, and is still, missing. Only twelve
cents was found on his person. He was
very fond of ladies' company, and the
ladies were very fond of him. He was in
the habit of staying out as late as 9, 10, and
IL o'clock. She had on several occasions
quarreled with him on that account, but
not lately. She was of the opinion that
he was murdered, as he had on several
occasions quarreled with men at the fac
tory where he worked. She was strength
ened in this belief because one colored
man said to another on Thursday morn
ing, Your Mat is gone at last" She
could give no other reasons for her
opinion.
After hearing this evidence, and the
statement of the coroner that he thought
death was induced by heart disease, the
jury rendered and signed the following
verdict:
1--WE, the jury, are of the opinion that
the deceased came to his death on the
night of February 16, 1887, by heart dis
ease"

Madame J.nish a. "vioIets."


"Violets" is a play distinctively French
and therefore highly emotional: IL
touches upon almost every phase OF hui
man character-pride, hatred, jealousy,
despair, hope, but, above all, love. 1t is,
in parts, almost melodramatic, which Is
equivalent to saying that it Is OF absorb
ing interest from the rise OF the curtain
until its final fall, at the close OF the NTH
act. In the hands of an artist so con-
scientious and so thoroughly competent
AS Madame Janish, the exacting roFe OF
"Violets' received the delicate treatment
it so much requires. No part was strained
or overdone, and the smoothness ana
finish of the performance was one OF Its
chief merits.
The audience last night was, as the
night before, beautiful and apprecla,
tive one. The heroine received marked
demonstrations of applause. Mr.. and Mrs.
Leffingwell, Mr.. Moore, Mr.. Spanglerr,
and Misses DeAosses, Graves, and Nell
son, and all the cast received excellent
support and were literally applauded.
The play was very handsomely staged,
and the toilettes were brilliant, those OF
Janish being exquisite. The perform
ance was a pleasant and successful one in
every way. $40.

ages; "By my halidome, fair maid,
say thou wilt be mine, and the holy

The prince is the most hospitabIe

grandest and most exclusive affair in
English country life: only mconntry
people" are invited, and great are the
heart burnines that ollow the nerusal
Of lists accepted or rejected. At SAM
dringham House this function is OBJ
served with strict etiquette, and yet
the poorest country parson and the
most -impecunious of the now sorely
impoverished gentry are not only in
vited but receive a specially cordial
welcome. The farmers ball explains
itself. and many ahappy farmer wife
regales her town friends with recoIIec.

as partner.
The servants ball is neither less
brilliant nor less hearty than the 9TH

German damsels from London vying
with the old-fashioned m~atrons and
country lasses of Sandringham in the
arts and graces. The Prince always
leads OF the housekeeper or upper
chambermaid, and the Princess with
perhaps the butler or cook, and once
the ponderous but lawfully Jolly
Duchess of Teck followed suit with the
wee mite of g. coachman who drives
the Princess's chaise. There is no
stuckupishness about these enter
tainments; the host Fand hostess
are host and hostess In the
grand old English way all the
time, and make every one feel quite
at home. But let any one presume
by one hair I. breadth upon propriety,
or forget his manners, the Prince finds
a prompt but graceful way OF leaving
a lasting mark on the uniucky boor.

tate on the Princes birthday and st

good fellow"

in her hands and sobbed for very
shame.
II have found Love at last" she
said. 'It is he for whom I have walt
ga 50 long atlu searcilcu 50 inf alu
wide, Only Love dared claim me.
Only love knew how to win me. Only
Love could teach me to love again"
And then Love hant over her and
folded her in his close, strong arms,
and flew away with her right up into
the far of, wonderful seventh heaven,
where none but those who know Love
have ever been. And the suitors staid
behind with their mittens and their
cigars, and their promises that none
should sver know their names, and
We're sulky, and pretended to outsid-
ers that ''they never couldtell what it
vas 80 immensely superior that the
princess saw in that fellow" Only
luckily the worlds echoes cannot
reach so far as m to the seventh
heaven, and the little princess never
heard what they said.
But, my friends, this is only a fairy
story, and, OF course could never hap.
